Major Topics for This Week

Stability
Fx20 is more stable than previous release. We dropped below 2%. We have also been landing some fixes that might affect the SQL related crashes. We found some explicit problems in the code thanks to the "Dump all threads" feature in our test framework and the ANR work Jim has been adding. Nightly has no SQL DB locking crashes since Apr 6 builds. Let's keep our fingers crossed!
Landing Soon
Keep a lookout for these new features that should landing: Host/Domain name autocompletion (bug 858340), Switch to tab (bug 729463), Set default search engine (bug 730445) and keyboard shortcuts (bug 726716)
WebRTC for Android
Landed on mozilla-central! It's behind a build flag, so it's not enabled on Nightlies yet. We need to do some testing to see how well the device support is going to be.
